Congrats to both alliances. Good to see.

Secret treaties come to [ooc]SE[/ooc]!

Given the magnitude of the host, and the rarity of the occasion Alexander Schröder, Chairman of the Executive Committee would head east along with the Foreign Minister and his Chancellery.

Who spilled fruit salad everywhere?

"Austria would like to apply for membership in the Union, and the Grand Council." - Velimir of Metternich, Foreign Minister of Austria

What are you even talking about?

Good fight pacifica.

"Cheers on your elections." - Random Austrian Person

I really found it confusing that they were aztec, but weren't. I'm sure glad this happened.

Congrats on finding peace. Good fight Ai et al.

Well there's that.

How is this thread even still going? Fifty three pages of people talking eachother in circles.

There should quite honestly be a medal for this. It's not the casualty count that makes the man, but the psychological torments endured while reading these terrible threads. In reality this is actually retribution for mary's ban on huggles.

Actually I would say this thread is about how he negotiated to within a .1 difference of duration then arbitrarily reversed course before walking out again.

You're responding to a post that is woefully out of date (note the timestamp predates the most recent negotiations that everyone is now discussing).

Nine posts and not a single day was removed from the current offer.

No one is demanding the forced transfer of tech. That established, feel free to make yourself feel better by entertaining whatever semantic gymnastics you need to in describing what we're doing. I don't think there has ever been a surrender agreement, short of white peace, that didn't carry with it the resistance of the defeated party; that you don't enjoy your ally's circumstance is to be expected and has been duly noted by the powers that be.

itt NPO wants all its allies to also be 'punished'. What are you attempting to accomplish with this? Are you simply waiting for someone in our ranks to slip and allow you to extract a '[ooc]game[/ooc] changing' admission on one of your irrelevant rhetorical points? If that happens what do you intend to do with it? Will you run back to the coalition channel smug and self righteous, affirmed in some ephemeral moral high ground your side must surely hold- will anyone even remember the admission? This entire process is silly, and unless you're doing it purely for therapeutic reasons I'd advise you to stop. In either case, you all have played the martyr this entire war- shamelessly trotting out every stale line losing coalitions have thrown about since GWI. We've all said these things when defeated, and we've all rolled our eyes when they were returned. The community is far too cynical at this point for an appeal like that. NPO is achieving superior damage output because their force is clustered in the 10k range. Their use of PM in the upper tier has also precluded them from receiving the efficient/expensive damage that everyone else in their coalition has received. Given that the bulk of their damage has been dealt in the lower ranges I also suspect the price/economically corrected figures (that scale up and down with the value of what is being destroyed) would show a much lower (possibly irrelevant) damage value comparable to the overall damage of the war.

I'm sure you're holding out hope that we'll do something utterly self defeating and idiotic to reverse the sorry positioning you've saddled yourself with.

Congrats fear.

He already did, and I would be remiss if I failed to admit I thought it was satire at first.

I think you mean nine days.

Honestly NPO, when are you going to just give it a rest- no one cares about your constant nonsense and noise attempting to spin things into this or that.

I wouldn't call it a PR disaster, but I might say it is irrelevant. Other than to give the reythegreat's, rotaveles, et al- something to do on a sunday afternoon I fail to comprehend what this thread actually set out to accomplish.

If NPO had approached the war as its peers did, it would have received the same treatment as the others- we have been ready to peace them out since mid december. You didn't and so there was disagreement on how to handle you. That you have terms has nothing to do with who you are, only how you have fought the war.
